40 Brandish Gilhelm / Runehammer

Weird Games and Weirder People

Brandish Gilhelm / Henkerin Ferinale, also known as Runehammer, is the game designer, artist, and content creator behind, well, RUNEHAMMER. A powerhouse of TTRPG design and guidance, he is the creator behind Index Card RPG, Viking Death Squad and more recently Skull & Crown!

Brandish also has an amazing YouTube channel where he not only talks about the amazing work that he does, but about TTRPG in general, and how to CREATE THINGS! Brandish is constantly sharing his wisdom and knowledge of games and game design, and we talk a little bit about this too in this chat.

But not only that, we talked about his journey as a creator, his life and story of overcoming a difficult bump in the road, how he almost died and how that changed him forever. We also touched on the various weirdly wonderful topics we normally talk about on the show, but what really makes this one special is the wisdom Brandish shares. So pay attention to that.

So listen up and get weird with us!
